I downloaded and installed and used it today for the first time.

And I find it having a very non-intuitive IME which created difficutlies

After browsing through all apps available, I ticked some 20 that I wanted and let it download.

After it had downloaded some 5 apps, and was downloading Chrome, at 80% completion, my net got disconnected.

When I restarted net, it didn't resume downloading of the same 80% downloaded app.
it was downloading the next app, freefilesync, which got half downloded, and again net got disconnected.

Hi:
After a glitch, my portable apps launcher no longer works.
1. I have a portable apps launcher that opens fine but contains no portable apps icons listed in the space where they normally would go. In other words it gives me the grey box with the icons for "Documents .....to help" on the right side, and, on the left half of the box, a search box at the top and "all apps" at the bottom, but no app icons in the white box in between.
2. I have a portable apps folder with around 70 portable apps that work fine standalone,

Hey guys,

I've been setting file types to portable applications from the platform, like setting all video types to Media Player Classic and this works well. I only had to select a video, click "open with" then choose MPC from the custom program button and set as default.

After that, I could easily go in the Windows settings and select MPC for every video type without having to set every single video file extension to MPC.

Hello everybody,

someone know if it is possible to include .doc, docx, pdf,... in the Menu from PortalbeApp.???
I would include most important files in the Menu.

The automatic update, which has been available for some time now, might be a little better if there was an option to change the sequence in the process.

Now, all up[dates are downloaded before any updates are applied. If, for some reason, the process is interrupted, the whole process must be restarted.

If the process were to download and update each item before continuing to the next item, this would save the rerun from beginning problem.

Hi:
I was updating PortableApps this morning. The one updated app was the PortableApps platform (at around 4 MB). It downloaded, but wouldn't install. I got an error message that the update failed. No problem so far, that happens every once in a while. However, when I went to launch portable apps later this morning the platform didn't launch, either from the shortcut or the program itself.

I got an error message:
Cannot Open File

I'm looking for an app that will do PC audits including all the KB updates from Microsoft.

Right now when I go into "View Update History", all the KBs aren't sorted and it's hard to see what updates are installed on my machine. I'm looking for something that will sort these out better than what Windows offers

Hi,

I had to find a title... Please let me explain what I meant by "naturally portable".
I have been using portable apps for a while and find it very handy. Most of the time, I download them from portableappsCom (thanks a lot). However, some apps can be downloaded directly from their own websites as a portable bundle, usually a zip file. One just unzip and runs the exe.
Examples : VirtualDub, FreeFileSync (installer provides a portable installation type), WinMerge.
